# Assembly Tools
|
||||
|
||||
There are two assembly tools in OrcaSlicer, one for generating assemblies on the bed from multiple imported [objects](prepare_object set) and another for viewing an imported assembly that has been disassembled on the bed to optimize printing.
|
||||
|
||||
## Assemble
|
||||
|
||||
Use the Assemble tool to create an bed assembly from multiple objects.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!TIP]
|
||||
> Is recommended to merge the objects into one before using this function.
|
||||
> This way the assembly will be considered as parts after they are merged, and can be adjusted freely on the z-axis.
|
||||
> If the objects are not merged, the assembly will be considered as separate objects and each part must have a face that touches the heatbed.
|
||||
|
||||
### Point and Print Assembly
|
||||
|
||||
Use the Point and Print Assembly tool to create assembly instructions by selecting points on your 3D model.
|
||||
Press and hold the `Shift` key while clicking on the model to select assembly points.
|
||||
|
||||
### Face and Face Assembly
|
||||
|
||||
Use the Face and Face Assembly tool to create assembly instructions by selecting faces on your 3D model.
|
||||
After selecting both faces to be joined, you can select the alignment method:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Parallel**: Aligns the faces so that they are parallel to each other.
|
||||
- **Center coincidence**: Aligns the centers of the faces.
|
||||
- **Flip by Face 2**: Flips the orientation of object 2 based on the normal of face 2.
|
||||
|
||||
## Assembly View
|
||||
|
||||
When importing a STEP Assembly file, you can use the Assembly View to see the hierarchical structure of the assembly.
|
||||
It's recommended to [split compound and compsolid into multiple objects](prepare_stl_transformation#split-compound-and-compsolid-into-multiple-objects) when importing and then [Split](prepare_object_set#split-to-objects) for better manipulation.
|
||||
This way you can Auto arrange all objects and still keep the assembly structure in the Assembly View.

||||

# Auto Arrange
|
||||
|
||||
The Auto Arrange feature helps you quickly and efficiently position multiple models on the build plate for optimal printing based on the selected arrangement strategy.
|
||||
|
||||
## Parameters
|
||||
|
||||
- **Spacing**: Set the minimum distance between models.
|
||||
- **Auto rotate for arrangement**: Automatically rotate models to fit better on the build plate.
|
||||
- **Allow multiple materials on same plate**: Enable this option to allow models with different materials to be arranged together on the same build plate. If disabled for each material a separate plate will be created.
|
||||
- **Align to Y axis**: Reduce bed motion by aligning models along Y to improve precision and reduce wobble on tall prints; especially useful for i3-style printers (bed moves in Y). On CoreXY or gantry systems with a fixed bed the benefit is minimal and it can increase toolhead travel.

# Auto Orientation
|
||||
|
||||
Auto Orientation is a feature that automatically finds the optimal orientation for 3D models to minimize support requirements and improve print quality.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Analyzes** the mesh geometry to extract face normals and areas.
|
||||
2. **Generates** candidate orientations.
|
||||
3. **Evaluates** each orientation based on overhang area, bottom contact, support interface, and contour complexity
|
||||
4. **Selects** the orientation with the lowest unprintability score.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!IMPORTANT]
|
||||
> Auto Orientation may not always find the best orientation for complex models. Always review the suggested orientation.
|
||||
> Remember that strength characteristics of the printed part may vary with orientation due to layer adhesion.

# Brim ears Painting
|
||||
|
||||
This painting tool allows you to paint brim ears on the base of your 3D model to improve bed adhesion during printing.
|
||||
It also includes an Auto-generate points feature that automatically detects and applies brim ears to suitable areas of the model.
|
||||
|
||||
## Parameters
|
||||
|
||||
- **Head diameter**: Sets the diameter of the brim ear heads.
|
||||
- **Max angle**: Defines the maximum angle at which brim ears will be applied with Auto-generate points.
|
||||
- **Detection Radius**: Decrease to increase Brim Ears quantity. Sets the radius for detecting areas (using [Ramer–Douglas–Peucker algorithm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramer%E2%80%93Douglas%E2%80%93Peucker_algorithm)) to apply brim ears with Auto-generate points.
|
||||
- **Sectrion view**: Adjusts the section view height to better visualize brim ear placement.

# Color Painting
|
||||
|
||||
Color Painting allows you to paint specific areas of your 3D model with different colors in the Prepare tab. This feature is useful for visualizing different sections of your model, planning multi-material prints, or simply adding a creative touch to your design.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tools
|
||||
|
||||
### Circle
|
||||
|
||||
The Circle tool allows you to paint circular areas on your model. You can adjust the size of the circle and use it to quickly cover larger areas or create specific patterns.
|
||||
|
||||
### Sphere
|
||||
|
||||
Similar to the Circle tool, the Sphere tool lets you paint spherical areas on your model. This will result in the not visible areas being painted as well when they are within the sphere's radius.
|
||||
|
||||
### Triangle
|
||||
|
||||
This tool will let you to paint specific triangular faces of your model. Useful for precise painting but it will depend on the model's geometry.
|
||||
|
||||
### Height Range
|
||||
|
||||
This toll allows you to paint horizontal faces or height ranges of your model.
|
||||
|
||||
### Fill
|
||||
|
||||
The Fill tool allows you to quickly paint an entire connected area of your model with a single click. This is useful for covering large sections without having to manually paint each part.
|
||||
|
||||
## Gap Fill
|
||||
|
||||
When enabled, the Gap Fill option will automatically fill small gaps in your painting strokes within the Gap area size defined. This helps to ensure that your painted areas are continuous and free of small unpainted sections.

# Mesh Boolean
|
||||
|
||||
Mesh Boolean operations allow you to combine, subtract, or find the intersection of two or more mesh objects. This is particularly useful in 3D modeling and printing when you want to create complex shapes or modify existing ones.
|
||||
|
||||
This can be done using an object with more than one part, an assembly of multiple objects, or by using modifiers.
|
||||
|
||||
## Union
|
||||
|
||||
The Union operation combines two or more mesh objects into a single mesh. This is useful when you want to create a single object from multiple parts.
|
||||
|
||||
## Difference
|
||||
|
||||
The Difference operation subtracts one mesh from another. This is useful for creating holes or cutouts in a mesh by removing the volume of another mesh.
|
||||
|
||||
## Intersection
|
||||
|
||||
The Intersection operation creates a new mesh from the overlapping volume of two or more meshes. This is useful when you want to isolate the common area shared by multiple objects.

## Move
|
||||
|
||||
The Move tool allows you to reposition your 3D model on the print bed.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Move it freely**: Click and drag the model to any position on the print bed.
|
||||
- **Move it along an axis**: Click and drag the arrows that appear on the model to move it along the X (Red), Y (Green), or Z (Blue) axis.
|
||||
- **Specific distance movement**:
|
||||
- **World Coordinates**: Move it's position to a specific coordinate on the print bed.
|
||||
- **Object Coordinates**: Move it a specific distance relative to its current position.
|
||||
|
||||
## Rotate
|
||||
|
||||
The Rotate tool allows you to change the orientation of your 3D model.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Relative**: Rotate the model by a specific angle relative to its current orientation.
|
||||
- **Absolute**: Set the model to a specific angle regardless of its current orientation.
|
||||
|
||||
## Scale
|
||||
|
||||
The Scale tool allows you to resize your 3D model.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Scale**: Resize the model by a percentage of its current size.
|
||||
- **Size**: Set the model to a specific size in millimeters.
|
||||
- **Uniform Scale**: Maintain the model's proportions while scaling.
|
||||
|
||||
## Lay on Face
|
||||
|
||||
This is one of the fastest ways to properly orient a model for printing.
|
||||
The Lay on Face tool allows you to quickly orient your model by selecting a face to lay flat on the print bed.

# Object Set
|
||||
|
||||
The object set is the basic structure used to organize and manage 3D models within OrcaSlicer. It allows users to group multiple objects and their respective parts for easier manipulation, configuration, and slicing.
|
||||
|
||||
## Part
|
||||
|
||||
Each Object Set consists of one or more Parts.
|
||||
A Part represents a single 3D model or mesh that has been imported into the project. Each Part can have its own unique settings, such as print parameters, supports, and modifiers.
|
||||
|
||||
## Instance
|
||||
|
||||
An instance is a specific instance of an Object Set placed on the print bed.
|
||||
All instances of the same Object Set share the same Parts, size, and settings. However, each instance can have its own position and rotation on the print bed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Splitting
|
||||
|
||||
### Split to Objects
|
||||
|
||||
When selecting an Object Set with multiple Parts, users can choose to split the Object Set into individual Objects.
|
||||
Each Object will contain a single Part from the original Object Set.
|
||||
|
||||
### Split to Parts
|
||||
|
||||
When selecting an Object with a single Part that contains multiple meshes, users can choose to split the Object into individual Parts.
|
||||
Each Part will represent a single mesh from the original Object and will allow for independent manipulation and settings.

# Support Painting
|
||||
|
||||
This tool allows you to paint areas on your 3D model where you want to add or remove support structures during printing.
|
||||
This is particularly useful for models with overhangs or complex geometries where you want to control the placement of supports for better print quality and easier removal.

# Variable Layer Height
|
||||
|
||||
The Variable Layer Height feature allows for dynamic adjustment of layer heights throughout the print, optimizing both print quality and speed.
|
||||
As we know from [Layer Height](quality_settings_layer_height), smaller layer heights yield better detail but increase print time, while larger layer heights speed up printing at the cost of detail. With Variable Layer Height, we can strategically use different layer heights in different parts of the model.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> The Min and Max layer heights are defined in the [Machine/Extruder settings](printer_extruder_basic_information#extruder-layer-height-limits).
|
||||
|
||||
## Adaptive
|
||||
|
||||
The Quality / Speed slider in the Adaptive Variable Layer Height settings allows users to balance print quality and speed dynamically:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Quality:** Prioritizes finer details by using smaller layer heights in intricate areas, resulting in higher print quality but longer print times.
|
||||
- **Speed:** Focuses on faster printing by utilizing larger layer heights in less detailed areas, reducing print time but potentially sacrificing some detail.
|
||||
|
||||
## Smooth
|
||||
|
||||
This setting allows you to set a Radius of the width of the Gaussian filter that smooths the transition between different layer heights. A larger radius results in a smoother transition, which can help reduce visible layer lines and improve overall print quality.
|
||||
|
||||
## Manual
|
||||
|
||||
This tool enables a vertical bar with a preview of the layer heights along the model. You click with left mouse button to reduce the layer height at a specific point, or with right mouse button to increase it.
